Place asparagus in an even layer on a large microwave-safe plate and season with salt and pepper. Lay a triple layer of damp paper towels on top of asparagus, completely covering them, or cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel. Microwave on high power until asparagus is bright green and tender but still crisp, 2 1/2 to 6 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave.
Remove asparagus and arrange on warmed serving plates. Top with poached eggs, drizzle with vinaigrette, and serve.
